I am Ken Glantz, a US Navy veteran, and retired Law Enforcement Officer. Coming from both worlds, I know that many of our veterans and first responders are suffering in silence, from traumas they experienced keeping us safe. Statistics show that around 22 Veterans die each day by suicide, and Police Officers are far more likely to die taking their own life, than to be killed in the line of duty.
Not only can we honor their service - more importantly there is a way we can help Save a Life. This June, I’ll be riding my motorcycle, a Harley-Davidson Pan America, from Rhode Island to Alaska more than 10,000 miles round trip. I am calling the ride: “Riding Solo, Not Alone”.
The ride is to raise awareness, and funds for the Motorcycle Relief Project (MRP), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that helps veterans and first responders dealing with invisible injuries. They bring Veterans and First Responders on five-day adventure motorcycle relief rides to help them decompress, connect with peers who understand them, and receive practical tools for healing. Most importantly, They Save Lives.
Adventure rides are completely free for participants, but the MRP needs funds to provide these rides! I am hoping you will join me as we raise $15,000 to fund an upcoming ride and potentially save another life. By donating through the provided link, all donations will go directly to the Motorcycle Relief Project. Any amount helps!!
